Excellence in Teaching
Each year the Aesculapian Society at the LSUHSC School of Medicine in New Orleans asks the medical students to nominate faculty on the basis of leadership, quality of instrution, approachability, and overall excellence in teaching. We are proud to announce that Dr. Paula Gregory is a nominee for this award.
The Aesculapian Society's objective is "to promote amicable interchange of opinion between the student body and the faculty, with a view to the constant improvement of educational, medical, and scientific standards." At the end of each school year, the student body nominates both basic science and clinical faculty for the Aesculapian "Excellence in Teaching Award."
